back to school

It’s back to school time! This may mean that illness-causing germs may soon be returning to your home. Taking a proactive stance against cold, flu and other germs can help keep your home and your loved ones infection-free.

It is estimated that 30 to 60 percent of an elementary school student's day involves handwriting. Research indicates that difficulty with handwriting contributes to an overall lower school performance.
